Costa Rica observes a set of nationally recognised public holidays each year, the days on which banks, government offices, and most schools close and when many private employers either close entirely or run a reduced service. The status at the top of this page is calculated from that national list for 2026, so it answers the practical question — is Costa Rica open for business today — without you having to cross-reference a printed calendar.
Public holidays in Costa Rica fall into a few categories. Some are fixed calendar dates that land on whatever weekday they happen to fall on; others move to create a long weekend, typically the nearest Monday. When a fixed holiday lands on a Saturday or Sunday, many countries grant a substitute day off on the following working day, which is why the observed date can differ from the nominal one. The list above reflects the observed dates wherever the source data records the substitution.
The practical consideration for anyone planning around these dates is the working-day impact. A holiday that lands midweek removes a single working day; one that lands on a Friday or Monday creates a three-day weekend that changes travel and delivery patterns for the days either side. The working-days figure above counts only Monday to Friday and skips other holidays, so it reflects the real number of business days you have before the next closure in Costa Rica.
For the complete year, including past holidays and the full set of dates with day-of-week and type, use the full Costa Rica holiday calendar linked above. You can also subscribe to the dates as an .ics calendar feed so the closures appear directly in your own calendar app, or open the working-days page to see the month-by-month business-day breakdown for Costa Rica in 2026.
Holiday dates are compiled from Nager.Date. Regional and substitute-day rules vary by jurisdiction; for legal or payroll deadlines, confirm the observed date against the official calendar for Costa Rica.
